Listing software updates, installed on a standalone client or SPOT, by keyword from the command line

Edit online

Follow this procedure for listing software updates, installed on a standalone client or SPOT, by keyword from the command line.

Enter the following command:

nim -o fix_query [ -afixes="FixKeywords" ] \
[-afix_bundle=FixBundleName ] [ -afix_query_flags=FixQueryFlags ] \
TargetName

where FixKeywords are APAR numbers; FixBundleName is the object name of the fix_bundle resource; FixQueryFlags are optional flags to the fix_query operation, and TargetName is the client, group, or SPOT for which to display fix information.

Valid FixQueryFlags are as follows:

Item	Description
-a	Displays symptom text.
-c	Displays output in colon-separated format.
-F	Returns failure unless all filesets associated with a fix are installed.
-q	Quiet option; if -q is specified, no heading is displayed.
-v	Verbose option; gives information about each fileset associated with a fix (keyword).

For example:

To query the fix database on standalone1 to determine if all fileset updates for fix IX12345 are installed, enter:
```
nim -o fix_query -afixes=IX12345 standalone1
```
To list fix information for all known fixes installed on spot1, with symptom text, enter:
```
nim -o fix_query -afix_query_flags=a spot1
```
